It has been a little over a week since we moved in to our beautiful home. The hours after work everyday have been a constant unpacking, organizing, and reorganizing everything. We have moved from a 696 square feet apartment to a 2-floor house just under 2400 square feet. On the first night we moved in, …
D minus 72 hours Tuesday It is really been crazy lately with our beautiful new house closing and running around getting the mortgage/finances sorted out and purchasing assorted big-item furnitures and arranging for their deliveries. Picking out paint colors for the accent walls in the different rooms and arguing with dad about FungShui. I took …
Time flies! It has been 2 years since we got married. Originally, Ri was suppose to go to sunny SoCal for some work training right around the day of our anniversary and we planned to visit LA and perhaps San Diego for a few days. But that trip got canceled, thus we had to improvise …
Chamber Bay University Place, Washington We found this place on a weekend before I started working when I was dying to go out for a walk after being trapped in the house all week, it is a golf course by the water. If you park the car by the street, you can walk in a …
Tacoma Narrows Bridge So I’ve decided to take that step closer to being able to call myself an amateur photographer- shooting RAW! I read up on the pros and cons of shooting RAW ever since I picked up my dad’s old DSLR in 2010 but have always remained on this side of shooting just …
So… WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! :D We started looking at houses 2 weeks after we got back from Italy because Ri recently got promoted to a new position in Auburn. Originally we moved down to Puyallup because this is where his work took us, and now we are no longer bound by his job location, …

This is a Native American lake nestled on the foothill of the Olympic National Park and its glorious Olympic National Forest. The lake receives its main inflow of water from the Quinault River with the surface elevation of 190 feet. …
Let me just start by saying I’m probably the most spoiled wife/daughter/friend ever existed on planet Earth. My husband made the entire month of August Selina’s birthday month. :) Ri has waited until this month to get me a new phone and ‘coincidentally’ my 5.5 years old laptop had decided to die on me, so …
Recently I have established a routine in the evenings to walk for an hour around my apartment complex or on the treadmill, this was the result of Ri-being-too-tired-to-take-me-to-the-gym and I-found-out-I’ve-gained-10-pounds-since-the-wedding. I decided I can’t just take a passive role in determining my own exercise routine, so if I can’t run (because of my RA) or …
There is this game that Ri and I play when we are bored, we try to make up a random story alternating making up sentence by sentence. This is what happened tonight. Selina: “Once upon a time, there is a bear who walks into the forest…” Ri: ” then he heard a tree fell, but …
The above picture is the gorgeous Columbia River Gorge on Highway 84! As you can clearly see, we visited on an amazing weekend, there was not a cloud in the sky and the temperature was hovering around 75s on both days. Ahh, God is good to us! My amazing husband negotiate a deal with his …
